Is this, strictly speaking, necessary?

Can someone either delete or severely cut the title of this thread? The board already takes a freaking hour to load these days, I don't think it's cool to be greeted with three pages of exclamation points after battling the poxy fule and whatnot.

Isn't there some way to limit the number of characters in a thread title to prevent bullshit like that happening again?

the length of the thread title actually seemed to cause a problem when trying to delete it so i had to edit the title first then delete.

character limit or truncation on thread titles is ESSENTIAL.

But wait!

There have been some classic threads of quite long titles.

So, make the number a fairly large one...

See, the shamalangadingdong one on ILE now. Wouldn;t be right truncated too harshly.

Indeed, I was thinking of a reasonably generous 200 characters or so.

That shayalamana one is 250 chars.

Maybe a limit on number of chars in a word?

That doesn't do a bloody thing to address the problem, because you just put spaces in between your exclamation points and now it's 2x as long as before and ok. I'm pretty sure people can get their point across within 200-300 characters. I mean, that is what the actual content of the post itself is for, to go into depth as to what you mean.

it's only a title Mark, the proof is in the pudding (thread content). this is why it's good to revive older threads on a subject rather than just start new ones all the time!

I haven't opened that M. Night thread because I don't really want to know which ILEer (who I probably like) I have been vaguely wishing death upon all day.

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 July 2006 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

i didn't open it because m. night sucks
